Wave energy in the Netherlands
Past, present and future perspectives
Renewable energy offers significant opportunities for electricity diversification. South Africa belongs to the group of developing nations and encompasses a lot of potential for renewable energy developments. Currently, the majority of its electricity production originates fro ...
The study uses a 35-year data set, which can be used to provide a long-term assessment for assessing wave power resources, availability for wave energy converters (WECs), and multithreshold accessibility suitable for numerous vessels and important for offshore maintenance oper ...
The study focuses around the energetic waters of Scotland that has expressed high interest in the development of wave energy farms. There are only a few long-term suitable studies characterising coastal locations. A detail coastal resource assessment is provided, focusing on w ...
Significant advancements have been made in the past few decades (since the 1980s) on detailed evaluation and quantification of wave resources globally. Larger availability and advances of computational resources have contributed to the utilisation of numerical wave models as p ...
The study enhances the coastal resource knowledge and discusses opportunities for wave energy in the Aegean Sea. A fine-resolution numerical wave model is utilised to provide results for the Greek coastal regions. The model ran for 35 years (1980–2014) estimating wave characte ...
Wave energy is expected to play an important role in the forthcoming years for the de-carbonisation of Scottish and British electricity production. This study underlines the importance of resource assessment and attempts to improve the quantifiable wave power resource, with us ...
Many islands have high electricity prices due to the reliance on imported diesel. However, hybrid energy systems (HES) which combine renewable generation with backup generators and energy storage are becoming cost competitive. Diesel usually provides about 10% of the demand be ...
The study focuses on a high resolution coastal assessment for the Libyan Sea at the South-West Mediterranean. To date majority of information for the area, are based on large scale oceanic models with coarse resolutions not adequate for nearshore assessments. This dataset and ...
